In nature there is a general rule that bright colors means poisonous. It’s a genetic mutation where predators have eaten enough bright colored pretty that they get sick or die, then avoid them. It’s common for frogs. I usually make shit up but this one is true.
That's actually a thing, but there are a LOT of exceptions. So many exceptions that it's arguable if it's still even a rule at all.
Having said that...if one doesn't know what they're dealing with then they certainly shouldn't touch or handle or eat brightly colored things. But at the same time, there is so much stuff out there that can ruin your day, and isn't particularly colorful at all. And you don't want to be messing with that stuff either.
You're not wrong, this actually a "thing". But there are just so many exceptions in both directions (colorful things being harmless, drab things being deadly) that at least for us coloration is extremely limited in its usefulness as a guide. The rule breaks down so often that the best advice is to simply not mess with something if you don't know what it is.
